Joseph Brodsky

Regardless of whether one is a writer or a reader, one's task consists first of all in mastering a life that is one's own, not imposed or prescribed from without, no matter how noble its appearance may be. For each of us is issued but one life, and we know full well how it all ends.

American Poet

Lee Ranaldo

The world is going to end for each of us in a prescribed time, and you sort of understand that your time is limited at a certain point, and you want to get done the things you want to get done. You don't want to leave things undone, because you only have a limited amount of time.

American Musician

Vaclav Smil

I'm old fashioned. I'm not one of these young guys who think they are so smart that they can prescribe what humanity ought to do. Humanity never learns any lessons. Prescriptions don't matter. We already know exactly what to do. We just don't do it.

Czechoslovakian Scientist

Sucheta Dalal

William Gilmore Simms

Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism.

American Actor

Jack Monroe

Talk to families in poverty and ask them what they need, instead of prescribing it for them. Ask what the barriers are. Ask what would help. And then deliver it.

British Journalist

Max Weber

One cannot prescribe to anyone whether he should follow an ethic of absolute ends or an ethic of responsibility.

German Economist

Reason enables us to get around in the world of ideas, but cannot prescribe our thoughts.

American Writer

Robert Kennedy

The free way of life proposes ends, but it does not prescribe means.
